It all started in 1978 when Carole Jackson wrote the first Color Me Beautiful book! Over 40 years later, Colour Me Beautiful are still the recognised leaders in the colour, image and styling industry.
We continue to have a modern approach to colour and style, so our clients feel confident, relevant and fabulous when they leave our studios.
Colour analysis is now in its fifth decade, and we’ve learnt a lot since the 1980s.
It was a constant frustration that under the seasonal system; that is, when someone is classified as a Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter, we would have to explain to some clients that several of the colours in their palette wouldn’t work on them. That can’t be right!
Indeed, as Colour Me Beautiful travelled the world, it became apparent that the seasonal approach just doesn’t work for everyone, particularly the southern hemisphere.
By the late 80s, we realised that there are inter-relationships between seasons, so the pigeonholing became even more apparent.
Recognising the limitations of the seasons, the Tonal system was developed.
We used the Munsell system as the basis for our colour palettes. The theory behind Munsell is that every colour will have one dominant characteristic, and one or two secondary characteristics.
We are all made up of colour; our eyes, skin tone and hair. Indeed, hair is our crowning glory, so why wouldn’t you take this into consideration? It’s totally ignored in the seasonal system.
First and foremost, this put an end to describing people as seasons, and more importantly, pigeonholing our clients into palettes that just aren’t right for them. How our overall colouring is made up, provides the basis of how we categorise someone’s look.
And so the Tonal system was born. meaning that we can provide a personalised palette for everyone.
